Chapter 007: The Battle of Fucheng
The sergeants rushed up, and before Yu An, Zhang Mo, Hong Bai and others could react, they were stopped by the sergeants, and Yu An shouted: "Lord, what crime have we committed?" ”
Liu Zhang didn't speak, threw out a roll of leather paper from his arms, and dropped it on the ground, Yu An saw the leather paper, and immediately turned pale, it was a rubbing of Yu An's correspondence with Zhao Wei, since Yu An helped Zhao Wei speak, Liu Zhang sent someone to monitor Yu An's whereabouts, and Yu An thought that Liu Zhang was a weak and incompetent monarch before, and he was not guarded at all.
At this time, Yu An knew that Liu Zhang had already noticed that he was connected with Zhao Wei, Zhang Mo and Hong Bai were surprised inexplicably, Liu Zhang ignored them, signaled Yang Huai to prepare to fight, Yang Huai waved his hand, all the soldiers bowed and crossbowed, and more than 100 ceremonial cars were opened, which were full of strong bows and crossbows, and there were countless arrows, Yu An and others gasped.
Yang Huai shouted loudly to Zhao Wei: "Zhao Wei, you disobey the order and do not return, and you have a bad plot, if you don't withdraw your troops and enter the city today, you will be punished for rebellion." As Yang Huai spoke, Zhang Ren took a bow and arrow and slowly aimed at Zhao Wei.
The soldiers stretched their bows and arrows on the various wall buttresses, a cold atmosphere, Zhao Wei under the city saw this scene, how did he not know that his actions had been detected, but the defenders in the city were only 5,000, and he had 50,000, afraid of where he would come from, so far, he simply tore his face, entered Chengdu by force, and won the power of the state pastor.
Zhao Wei shouted loudly: "Liu Zhang, you are ungrateful, don't you remember who resigned and followed your father Liu Yan into Shuzhong?" Don't you remember who kept you the governor of Yizhou? Don't you remember who fought in the past few years to consolidate your power? What you have done today is worthy of the front-line soldiers who fought so hard? I, Zhao Wei, am loyal to your Liu father and son, Geng Geng is loyal, and I can recruit the sun and the moon, but what you did today is really forcing us to rebel, so it's no wonder that I, Zhao Wei. ”
Liu Zhang's eyes opened, he got up from the chair, and shouted coldly to the city: "Zhao Wei, Hugh said it well, my father entered Shuzhong, and you resigned to accompany you, but you made political investment, for the sake of Shitu Changda, you support me as the Yizhou pastor, but to see that I am cowardly, with me in charge, you can calmly seize the rights of Yizhou."
On the contrary, in the past few years, you have monopolized military power and excluded dissidents, and Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and others have discorded with you, so you have been demoted from the army, appointed cronies, deceived your own officials, and dictated your own power, forming a party for personal gain, and the crime is unforgivable.
This official recruited you into Chengdu, you were sick, this official came to Fucheng, you brought a large army to come, you said that you are loyal, why don't you dare to see this official alone? You are loyal, tens of thousands of troops are hiding five miles away, what do you want? Zhao Wei, you support the army and have self-respect, plotting against you, do you still want to quibble? ”
When Liu Zhang's words came out, all the civil and military officers looked sideways, completely not believing that this was what Liu Zhang, who had always been cowardly, said, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were also shocked, and Liu Zhang's image began to completely change in their hearts.
Zhao Wei didn't expect Liu Zhang to say such a thing, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "Lord Zhou Mu, you have been deceived by traitors, and Zhao Wei will punish the traitors around him for Lord Zhou Mu today." ”
Liu Zhang sneered: "There is indeed a traitor around this official. After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the sergeant immediately escorted Yu An and others to press against the wall, and Liu Zhang said coldly: "Kill." ”
The sergeant raised the big knife and slashed it with a swing, and more than a dozen heads rolled down the city at the same time, full of blood, Zhao Wei, Li Yi and the cavalry behind him were all shocked, Gong Zhi was frightened and sifted through the chaff, secretly glad that he did not approve of Zhao Wei entering the city just now, otherwise the head on his neck would also roll under the city.
Liu Zhang said loudly: "Treacherous villain, everyone will be punished, Zhao Wei, if you surrender, this official will leave you with a whole corpse." ”
Zhao Wei saw this situation, knew that there was no way out, the cavalry could not attack the city, immediately ordered to retreat, just when Zhao Wei raised the knife, an arrow came, hit the chest, but the arrow only entered half, the city tower Zhang Ren unwillingly shook his hand, said to Liu Zhang: "This Zhao Yun wore chain mail, please forgive the lord." ”
Liu Zhang shook his head and sat back in his chair: "It's not your fault, it's the right way for the soldiers to fight and kill the enemy, and the next thing is a big war, the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, the war is sinister, and the official is all asking General Zhang." ”
Zhang Ren said angrily: "Don't worry, the lord will fight to the death." "Five thousand to fifty thousand, Zhang Ren really doesn't dare to guarantee that he can hold Fucheng steadily.
Zhao Wei under the city received an arrow, although he was wearing chain mail, but the arrow was too powerful, he still hurt for a while, and he was furious, and after returning with the cavalry, he immediately ordered Pang Le to take 50,000 troops to attack the city in turn.
"Siege the city, kill it." Pang Le pulled out his war knife and shouted, and five thousand soldiers immediately swarmed up and stormed Fucheng with siege ladders.
"Kill the traitor." Yang Huai, the head of the city, personally raised his knife and went into battle, urging the soldiers on the various wall stacks to release arrows, and Zhang Ren quietly watched the fierce siege of the rebels under the city.
Liu Zhang, Gong Zhi and other officials walked down the city tower, and Liu Zhang said to Gong Zhi: "Lord Gong, now this official wants to hand over all government affairs in Fucheng to Wang Lei, do you have any opinions?" ”
"No, no, absolutely not." Gong Zhi was busy, seeing that Liu Zhang beheaded more than a dozen officials with a wave of his hand just now, and now he still feels a chill in his back, not to mention that he will stay out of the matter in this way, if Zhao Yun breaks the city, his retreat will be wider.
"That's good, you work hard to assist Wang Shuzuo in doing things, and after quelling the rebellion, the official will have his own reward."
"Ah......" Gong Zhi is now very sensitive to the "reward" that Liu Zhang said in his mouth, as soon as he heard Liu Zhang say that he wanted to reward himself, the sweat came out, Liu Zhang didn't care about him, and brought his own soldiers to inspect the city defense.
The battle was fierce, the soldiers defending the city rained arrows like locusts, under the strong crossbow shooting, the rebel soldiers were nailed to the ground, Zhao Wei's rebels took turns to attack the city, but they could not advance an inch, Zhao Wei saw that he could not attack for a long time, his heart was burning, Li Yi admonished: "Lord, the soldiers have clouds, ten and surround it, five and attack it, double and divide, now our army is ten times that of Liu Zhang, when the Fucheng is surrounded on all sides, feints on three sides, one side of the main attack, will be able to go down with a drum." ”
"Good idea, just do what you say." Zhao Wei gave an order, and several generals led their troops and horses to the remaining three cities, and Pang Le continued to command the attack on the eastern city.
"Report." A soldier rushed into the house and bowed to Liu Zhang: "Lord, General Gao Pei of Nancheng is in a hurry, General Zhang Ren has personally gone to supervise the battle, but there are too many rebels and horses, I am afraid I can't support it." ”
Liu Zhang said coldly: "Let Zhang Ren hold on for at least two more hours, and within two hours, Nancheng must not be lost." ”
"Yes."
The soldier left, and within half an hour, another soldier came to report: "Lord, the rebels in Beicheng are attacking fiercely, and General Leng Bao is in a hurry." ”
Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Quickly let Liu Xuan dispatch the inner city guards to help." ”
"Yes."
Soon after the soldiers left, Dongcheng and Xicheng were in an emergency, Liu Zhang knew that this was Zhao Wei changing the direction of the main attack, and if he continued to fight like this, Fucheng, which was weak, would lose sooner or later, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
"The lord is worried about the war?" A voice sounded from behind, and Liu Zhang turned his eyes to see Fa Zheng standing behind him with a smile on his face.
